This is the T-38C Talon 66-4343 469 FTS USAF Fort Worth Area 2020 in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The T‑38C Talon 66‑4343, flown by the 469th Flying Training Squadron at Sheppard AFB and visible across the Fort Worth area in 2020, breaks the mold as a splashy tribute to the past with its Vietnam-era camouflage and heritage tail markings Unlike the typical gray trainers, this jet proudly displays silhouettes of the squadron’s former aircraft—ranging from B‑24 bombers to F‑4 Phantoms—on its rudder, celebrating decades of flying lineage. As a fully modernized supersonic T‑38C used to prepare pilots for fighters and bombers, it uniquely combines advanced avionics and aerodynamics with a bold, heritage-rich appearance—making it both a tool of training and a rolling snapshot of USAF history.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
